ICE GURG ES.
Breaking Them With Explosives

CHICAGO, ILL, February 9.-Four
hours work by the fireboat Geyser
broke the gorge in the South branch.
TIE river, there is reason to believe
tonight, is receding, but the food at
Jefferson and Lake View, northwest
of the city, is assuming large proper
tions. There are three ice glrges in
the North branch, none of which
seem to be yielding, although repeated
attempts have been made to break up
the largest one with explosives. The
Belmont avenue bridge will go If the
water rises Elk inches higher. At
this point the river has over
flowed its banks, and sweeping
around the gorge, is inundating
the country between Grace and
and Eston roads and Oybourn and
Belmont avenues. At Clybourn ave.
nue. the water is rushing across Bel
mont avenue like a mill race. All the
residents in the neighborhood have
been forced to the upper stories of
their houses. The south parks are
badly flooded, and the boulevards in
the vicinity present the appearance OF
rivers. Though the inclosure Of the
Washington Park Jockey Club is COM
paratively dry, the country adjacent
to it on the vest and south is buried
under sheet Of water three
to four feet deep. From Seventy
first street to Ninety-ffth
street west of Cottage Grove ave-
nue. but little dry ground is visible.
Nearly all the bridges over the Calu-
met river are in danger from the ice.
